MOTION PICTURES ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY PERSISTENCE OF VISION. ITS PRINCIPLES EXPLAINED WITH ANIMATION, DIAGRAMS. STUNT DRIVER ROLLS CAR OVER. GOOD SHOTS AUDIENCES, PATRONS ENTERING THEATRE, PROJECTION EQUIPMENT. PROCESS SHOT OF AUDIENCE WATCHING FILM.
Ken Smith sez: This narrated film about persistence of vision (how movies work) has a good narrator and lots of fun visuals. High points: A weird scene inside a movie theater (as chorus girls toss flowers down a hill) and a great car crash at the end (Jam Handy had to work a Chevy into this film somehow).
